script (1, 7) : Error   : Expected identifier

void main()
{
	printOutput("TEST TEST TEST");
}

scriptEngine->RegisterGlobalFunction("void printOutput(string ∈)", asFUNCTION(printOutput), asCALL_CDECL)

scriptEngine->AddScriptSection(0, scriptName, scriptString.c_str(), (int)scriptString.length(), 0, false);

Because probably the function that loads the script into the string has some bug in it...

It's a bit difficult to say, because you're not showing your code, but it sounds like you're calling AddScriptSection() in one function and Build() in another.

If the std::string is locally declared in the function that calls AddScriptSection() it will go out of scope before the Build() method is called. The memory block that AngelScript is trying to compile as a script may thus contain non-understandable noise.

By changing the declaration of the std::string to static, you're making the string stay alive beyond the scope of the function.

You can also fix this problem by changing the call to AddScriptSection() to tell AngelScript to make a copy of the script buffer, in which case it will not matter if the original string is deallocated or not. The last parameter to AddScriptSection() does this.
